Hashim: the experienced candidate

By
Howard Fairman
Wednesday, August 3, 2022 — Issue 675

PUTNEY — Nader Hashim of Dummerston is the experienced candidate to replace retiring Windham County Senators Becca Balint and Jeanette White.

A former Windham-4 state representative (Dummerston, Putney, Westminster), Hashim knows firsthand how our Legislature works and how to work in our Legislature.

A former Vermont state trooper, Hashim knows firsthand real-life Vermont and real-life Vermonters.

A law clerk becoming a lawyer, Hashim knows firsthand how laws that our legislators pass work in practice as he prepares to practice law.

I have voted for Nader Hashim as the experienced candidate for Windham County state senator.

"When I went to the store to buy it, the ice cream was already soft," says Barboza, of Brattleboro, with a hearty laugh. "You can imagine the rest." Barboza, who hails from the state of Washington, has always...

Isaac Evans-Frantz, who is running for that U.S. Senate seat from Vermont, has a record of national and worldwide advocacy and coalition-building which is highlighted, in part, by recent news.
